AKA Limpin' Susan, made with rice, bacon, and bell pepper.
Okay, I admit it, I have a mad crush on this vegetable.
Fromokra picklestookra and tomato stir-fry, I’m finding every excuse to make something with okra.

It just tastes so good!
Sort of like the best tasting green bean, but even better.
Stir in the chopped cooked bacon at the end.
Elise Bauer
This is one of those.
I think you will be pleased.
Some rice calls for a 1:1 1/2 ratio, some 1:2 ratio, rice to liquid.
Elise Bauer
Use whatever ratio is indicated by your rice package.
Fry it until it’s crispy, then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve.
Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.

Add the onion and green pepper and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the okra and increase the heat to high.
Add the cayenne, salt and rice and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Elise Bauer
Stir in the chicken stock, cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped bacon.
